3 large apples

1⁄3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1⁄4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1⁄4 cup cold butter (4 tbls. or 1/4 cup)

1⁄2 cup flour

1⁄3 cup brown sugar

1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/3 cup almonds and walnuts(mixed)

Preheat oven to 350°.

Grease the bottom only of a small (4 cups or so) casserole dish.

Peel and core the apples, slice, and place in a bowl. Top with sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, toss to coat. Set aside while preparing the topping.

Make the streusel by cutting the cold butter into a bowl, adding flour, sugar, cinnamon, nuts, and nutmeg, if using.

Rub it gently with your fingers until the streusel is a coarse, sandy/pebbly texture.

Put the seasoned apples into the pan, top generously with the streusel, and bake at 350° about 30 minutes, or until the streusel is golden brown and the apple is starting to bubble up through the topping.
